BLUR, the native token of NFT marketplace Blur, is the number one gas burner on Ethereum. Earlier this week, Coinbase said they would launch trading of the BLUR-USD pair when there’s sufficient liquidity. And now, according to Etherscan.io, BLUR overtook UniSwap and Seaport in daily Eth trading volume.

Computational resources on Ethereum are measured in units of gas and paid for by users on the network in the native cryptocurrency ETH. Its 24-hour fees have surpassed $457,006.19, representing nearly 9.91% of all Ethereum network fees of the past day. This week’s airdrop has resulted in over $4 million worth of Ethereum being burned in the last seven days.
